google....*yuk*

remember some years ago when using google was fun? but google became a 2nd Microsoft: greedy gluttons who would do anything to spy on their users (ever tried to sign up for a google site-assessment? man, I think they even ask for the size of your dick...

)
it's the best example for what's wrong with globalisation: in the end there will be only semi-monopols left, and they can treat the users how they want to because you don't have a real alternative anyway.
google should simply do its "job" and supply information (best without amazon-, ebay-, and all the other useless commercial pseudo-results on the first 5 sites) and get the head out of the DRM-ass.....but well, we all know it will even get worse....

I must confess: i did gOOgle addSense and indeed, the apply form is freaky .. almost like running for a Verysign certificate !

Yes, but in goOgle's case they will have to review the purpose of their initial company goals:
for the Giants : Microsoft, IBM, Novell to name a few, their current motto is :

sell a piece of brainteasing software for almost no real cost ( corporate fee & buy ) BUT tax as many dollars with Support / Training & Helpdesk ... duh ..

So, if people are going to have to send Emails to GoOgle.dot.whatever to have ANSWERS and obtain RESULTS, then .. well gOogle's primary goal collapses into nonsense, no ?

I sadly agree ...
